Greetings!  

Robert Craven

From Robert Craven,

Keynote Speaker, Author and MD of The Directors' Centre





And, they say, summer has arrived.

It has been a wonderful start to the summer - shame about the weather. The diary here has been crammed full of Masterclass Forums, new Consultancy and Coaching assignments, the Barclays and the 'Magic Million' events..., and all of these involve us working with fascinating businesses with real issues and real stories to tell.

For us summer is busy - in between the spring and autumn seasons of events we find that we spend more time talking to businesses about how we can help them - which is what we are here to do. Summer breaks (impending or just in the past) give people time to regroup and refresh their thoughts and get ready for the autumn and winter - a great time to step back, prioritise and make some of the tough decisions required to take the business to the next level. Call us on 01225 851044 or email us at lb@directorscentre to find out how we can help you grow your business. Our questions are: "What is the issue? What are you trying to achieve? What's holding you back? How can we help?"

I am off to Africa (again) to Zambia, Botswana and Malawi to work with local businesses and the British Council. Watch out for occasional blogs at http://robert-craven.blogspot.com   Here's to better weather!

Regards

Magic Million Workshops
Seminar The Magic Million (MM) was a piece of research looking at the characteristics of businesses that break the million-pound turnover threshold and then those that generate at least a million pounds for the owner when the business is sold. Out of the research has emerged:

  • The Magic Million Business Briefing (a summary of the findings). Apply for your copy - email
  • The Magic Million Workshops Find out more
The inimitable Robert Craven takes the stage giving his spin on how to break through the Magic Million barrier.
Masterclass Forum
Masterclass forum We will talk about all of our businesses - our key issues... what's holding us back...

We will use our discussions to help all of us to grow and run better businesses. Robert will lead the discussion bringing his wealth of business experience to the meeting.

But the day is NOT about talk... the day is about ACTION - what are you going to do... by when... and how will you know you have succeeded? This is not for the faint-hearted.

Next Forum:
Friday 12th September, Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel, Bath.
Why not combine this with a weekend away in the historic and beautiful city of Bath?
Cost:  £400+VAT - which includes all refreshments and lunch.

Media Skills on the Big Stage
Michael DoddWith Michael Dodd -  Projecting the right image through the media requires more than just a slick spokesperson.

Effective high-profile organisations have a wide range of media-savvy people in their ranks to spot good news stories and to know exactly what to do when the media come knocking at your door.

The idea is for everyone to learn vital lessons about how to master the media in a single exciting session.

This full-day workshop will be charged at £195 (+VAT). Please register your interest by sending an email to Lesley Bees.
